Panda thanks to Wingman. Pretty hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head, gone in a jiffy. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, thin and dry but, a forward creamy sweetness. Hops deliver crisp pine, some hop spice nibble and light and not so sweet Peacharine stone fruits vibe. Motueka bringing a little lime underneath. Light finish. A tad dry but, tasty gear.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 01/02/2026.
Murky orange yellow topped with a lasting creamy white head.
Nose is stone fruit, guava, ripe tropicana, grass, pine resin, lychee.
Taste comprises stone fruit, lychee, gooseberries, grass, pine resin, mandarin, subtle hop spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness.
Solid kit ... I can actually get NZ hops in this one instead of the usual feeble effort by a US brewer!

Intensely hoppy, tropical fruity and slightly herbal with some pine, citrus, grass, floral notes and pineapple. Pretty tasty hop bomb

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy orange yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has mango and sweet grains with a bit of papaya and citrus underlying. Flavor has dank citrus and mango with a growing papaya and a hint of rind backing.
